Beads Out

Everything up to level 300 is fun and all but once you get into the 400s through 600s the level difficulties appear flip-flopped and you'll find "Hard" and "Very Hard" stages that you can oneshot through while slogging through dozens of "Normal" levels that use up a full day's worth of "lives" just to get through. Bad level design, perhaps the dev's pathetic attempt at trying to force users to spend money to get through. Challenges become less fun and more of a chore and nuisance, and if the new feature added at level 600 (not gonna reveal what it is cuz I hate spoilers) is a sign of what's to come, then I'll gladly remove this app from my phone and play other mobile games that are actually fun and challenging in an enjoyable way instead of feeling like smashing your head against a brick wall. Do a better job.

I absolutely love this game, but I have one major problem with it: I want my games silent, I can’t stand all the accompanying noises which are nothing but a distraction. I turn the sound off in the settings, but every single time it shows an ad, when I get back to the game, the sound is back on and comes blasting through my hearing aids. I have to go back into settings every single time and flip the sound button on and then off again. It’s upsetting and kind of ruins the game for me. Thanks for your attention to this!

Rarely I write reviews, I save them for either games that I really enjoy or really hate, and good news is that this is in the “Really Enjoy” category! I made it to Level 273 before writing this review, and I can absolutely say that this game is so fun that I forget to keep track of time, even when I’m trying to keep track! I have some minor complaints though, as of course there is no absolute thing as a ‘Perfect Game’. First is that there’s no way to go back to the home menu without losing a life (you only get the option when you lose, or if you check the settings it costs a life to exit even if you haven’t touched anything else). Second is that there’s only about 250 actual levels in the game so far, but that’s just a me problem. Finally for my complaints is that once you beat every level, there’s no option to choose what level you play on (which is fair to keep it that way if you don’t want to make a Level Select System). Bonus half-complaint; I only realized the Levels were being randomly selected after 250 when I got the Key tutorial level and it redid the tutorial as if I didn’t already see it lol. I also had an idea for a ‘Refreshing Level’ that had the Heart-Conveyor with only Red Boxes/Beads, and it would act as a neat small break from all the puzzle solving, even if it’s just for one level. Final Remark; I hope to eventually see what’s with the Locked Section in the Menu, but there’s no rush. I can just continue solving puzzles I’ve already solved in a completely random order until then. I wish you an amazing life!
